I stayed up late to watch game videos. The next morning, I forgot my math notebook and missed two easy questions on a quiz.
At lunch, I almost fell asleep while my friend was talking.
That night, I made a small test. I put my phone outside my room and went to bed thirty minutes earlier.
The next day was not perfect, but it was clearly better. I remembered my notebook, listened in class, and did not need an extra drink to stay awake.
Sleep was not a reward after everything. It was fuel for the next day.

查看中文译文
我熬夜看游戏视频。第二天早上，数学笔记本忘带了，小测验上两道简单题也答错了。
午饭时，朋友正跟我说话，我却差点睡着。
那天晚上，我做了个小实验：把手机放在房间外面，比平时早半小时上床。
第二天仍不完美，但明显好了一些。我记得带笔记本，上课听得进去，也不用额外喝东西来让自己保持清醒。
睡觉并不是做完一切后的奖赏，而是支撑第二天的能量。

背景知识
把手机放在房外，是主人公为了减少睡前看视频而作的一次尝试。故事只比较了前后两天的感受，不能凭此证明所有变化都由手机引起；它鼓励读者留意自己的作息和白天状态。
